[okfn-discuss] [Fwd: Open Geodata Manifesto]

[Rufus Pollock]

Why don't we use php petition for the okfn.org/geo/ manifesto just as we 
do for the publicgeodata petition. I think it is really important we 
continue this as, in my opinion, this statement is even more important 
than the one on http://www.publicgeodata.org/.

As you will have seen from my email I've just sent to Tobias I have now 
removed all the offending spam I could see and disabled signup for the 
time being.

To whom it may concern,

I signed the Open Geodata Manifesto because I think what you are doing
is very important work.

Now I see that on the list out of almost 7,000 signatures, many of your
supporters are pornographic domains or other folks like that.

I don't think that this is in your best interests, and it is certainly
not in mine to get listed with these types of domains.

I would kindly ask you to either take a little better care of who signs
up on the list or remove my signature from that list.

I would really like to support your initiative but not under these
circumstances.

Kind regards
Tobias Greitzke
